Hard times have room

Chapter 119

"Dad, are two enough? Do you want another one?" Pauline looked at the two white and tender frogs that had been cleaned up, and she felt that these two might be a little short.

The frogs in the fields now are not the bullfrogs of later generations. One of them is half a catty per catty, and one or two is enough to eat.

Now the frogs caught in the field are only two or three taels when they die, and these are very few. Paulin only saw her father brought back two frogs. Like the one brought back last night, the heaviest one was only one or two.

The two frogs that had been cleaned up and gutted were only a little more than two or two to death, which was really too few. Anyway, there were three yellow eels, and killing another frog would be enough to eat at noon, no problem.

"Well, since you don't think it's enough to eat, then kill another one, and when it's finished, Dad will catch it for you." Wang Jiandang said with a bit of reluctance.

Although he wants to eat it, as long as he doesn't show it, others will not know. Besides, in front of his own baby, he still has to maintain a little respect as a father.

"Don't, don't force it, Dad, I think it's better not to kill it!" Pauline looked at her dad, raised her eyebrows and joked.

"No, let's kill it. What if you and your mother don't have enough to eat? I'm a man, and I'll make you eat well if you say anything. You wait, I'll go now." Lin replied, and her murderous legs spread out and went straight to the small wooden barrel, pouting, and walked away with an innocent and stupid looking frog.

The corner of Pauline's mouth tickled, but she didn't catch up.

Not far from the house, I broke two willow twigs from the willow tree by the Daqing River and came back. I used the willow twigs dipped in salt water to brush my teeth. I washed my face with the cold water I just brought back. , The heart is cool and the heart is flying.

After washing up, Pauline didn't bother, she went straight to the kitchen, brushed the frogs that her father had cleaned, chopped them into small pieces, marinated them with a little salt water and ginger slices, and processed the main dish. After that, she washed two more potatoes and a large handful of wild vegetables, chopped them all into small pieces, and put them in a small bowl.

Afterwards, I took out the match at home and stroked it hard, but it didn't ignite. I didn't give up. I stroked it again, but it still didn't burn. I had no choice but to throw it out and change it, which would finally set the stove on fire.

Fill the large iron pot with water, bring to a boil, put in the potatoes, cover the pot, and simmer for seven to eight minutes. After the potatoes are soft, add the frog meat, cover the pot again, and simmer for 8 minutes. Add For wild vegetables, use a spatula to shovel them twice. When the leaves of the vegetables are soft, add a small handful of green onions to enhance the fragrance.

"Mom and dad, it's time to eat." Paulin put the porridge into two large and small three bowls. After bringing each one to the dining table, she went to the vegetable field at the back of the house and told the two who were working hard to weed to go home. Have a meal.

"Understood, we will go back after pulling out this piece of land, there is only a little left, and it will be fine soon." Su Hongying stood up straight and replied with a smile.

After watching Pauline walk away, she couldn't hold her expression any longer, and she urged Wang Jiandang next to her with a cheerful expression: "Build the party, hurry up, I will be able to eat soon, I'm starving to death."

"Hey, my hands are moving very fast, give me a little time, and I will be fine soon." Wang Jiandang replied, but the movement of his hands did not fall at all. Weeds show no mercy.

With the blessing of the couple's eagerness to wait, they pulled the weeds with full motivation, and after two or three minutes, the wild vegetables in this small field were cleaned up.

By the time the couple quickly washed their hands in the kitchen and walked into the main room quite reservedly, Paulin was already drinking happily with the porridge bowl in hand.

"Quick, today's porridge is good, I think it's delicious."

"Hey, it's delicious, girl, your cooking skills have improved a lot! Today's porridge is much better than yesterday!" Wang Jiandang held his bowl of porridge happily and expressed his heartfelt emotion.

"Dad, it's not that my cooking skills have improved, but this morning's dishes are good, with meat in them, you feel delicious."

"It's just that wild vegetable, no matter how you cook it, you won't be able to eat it well."

I know her own skills, but her cooking skills really haven't improved much. After all, she has been cooking stewed dishes that lack oil and seasonings. Basically, she has never done any stir-fry dishes.

Her father had a good breakfast this time, and it must be because of the frog meat in it. She couldn't recognize it, otherwise, if she returned to the wild vegetable and pea soup tonight, she would have to reveal the filling.

"That's not bad, it's much more delicious than what I made." Su Hongying "sucked" a mouthful of meat porridge and said contentedly.

"Hey, Dad, do you want to kill the rest of the frogs and eels for meat at noon? Or save a little for dinner?" Seeing that her parents were becoming more and more exaggerated, Pauline changed the subject decisively and bluntly. .

She was afraid that her parents would say more, and she should blush.

"Kill them all and eat enough!"

"No, wait, I think we can keep an eel and a frog to eat at night, so that we can eat meat all day."

"Forget it, let's eat it all, no, let's save some." Wang Jiandang said to himself, hesitating and never making up his mind.

"Okay, save some for dinner, that's all, stop talking about it." In the end, it was Su Hongying, the big leader, who made the decision.

"Daughter-in-law, I think it's okay to eat it all. If the big moon is still so bright tonight, I'll just go and catch it." the best.

"Well, do you have any other opinions that you can share." Su Hongying slammed the table, and her voice fell.

Wang Jiandang immediately followed and patted the table lightly, and responded in a sonorous tone: "Daughter-in-law, I think what you just said is very right, you still have to eat slowly, how can you think about everything like Paulin's meal? Make light!"

"She had to kill another one in the morning. I really couldn't refuse, I couldn't stop it, so I moved my hand. I think her behavior is very unacceptable. She should learn from you. She did it wrong."

"Well, you're right, open your mouth and reward you with a piece of meat." Su Hongying nodded with satisfaction, and fed the largest piece of meat in her bowl to Wang Jiandang's mouth.

Wang Jiandang happily chewed the meat and even swallowed it with the bones: "Daughter-in-law, you are so kind, I also have a piece of thigh meat for you to eat."

Seeing that the two were unscrupulously feeding the dog food, Pauline directly picked up the bowl and walked to the kitchen as soon as she finished eating: "I'm done eating, you guys continue."

Putting the bowl in the basin, Pauline directly carried the basket, took a shovel and went out the door. She didn't want to see her parents throwing dog food later, so she should go out and hide first!
